Moments

Verdsett øyeblikket

Vær ikke redd

Hør...

I øyeblikket...

Finnes selve livet

Savour the moment.

Don't be afraid,

Listen...

Life is in the moment

Retrotrekk på eikestol fra 1940. 1970's retro cover on 1940's oak chair.

I love the cheerful colours

in this fabric.

It is quite coarse so l thought

it would do nicely on furniture.

A little impregnation and l hope 

this lovely old chair

Will enjoy it's new life in the bathroom.

Nytt trekk til en koselig gammel stol.

Litt impregnering

så er den klar for nytt liv på badet.

God helg dere :-)

Ved og Vår - Winter wood and Spring blossom

Vinteren er forbi

men neste års vinterved må klargjøres

Kløyves og stables til tørk

Winter is over and Summer is approaching once again.

However, next year's supply of winter wood has to be chopped and stacked for drying. Mainly birch and fir.

The garden couldn't care less about winter though, good riddance!

Isn't Nature amazing?!

New life again

from seemingly dead branches.

I hagen blomstrer det og vinteren er glemt

for en tid.

kulturlandskap

Før i tiden 

Gikk det både hest og sau her.

Helt inn til fjellets fot.

Landskapet så ganske så annerledes ut i gammel tid

Ja, også på bilder fra femti - sekstitallet.

Nå må man kikke nøye skal man få øye på steinmurene.

Den ene bekken som renner forbi gården.

Stor snøsmelting på fjellet gir stor vannføring her nede. Å våkne til bruset fra fjellet

Gir ro

Morrakaffen inntas i dype tanker.

Villsau, steinaldersau, gammelnorsk spælsau...

Den går under mange navn.

Ville den trives her?

Hvor mange har vi beite til?

Levende kulturlandskap kontra gjengrodd villnis?

God helg dere :)

Jeg leser videre om sauesykdommer og nyter kaffen på trappen :-)

Seventies birthday card and serviette collection.

Saturday was spent sorting out boxes in the old farm house.

Amongst other things I found these:

A chocolate box full of birthday cards from my first three years.

My mother collected them for me.

Two of my favourites.

I also found my seventies serviette collection. Lots of memories :-)

My favourite one here was the tiny blue and purple butterfly one.

In need of a bit of storage space I came up with this idea. Old wooden boxes: Singer sewing machines, margarine and dynamite boxes. Now they all make great shelves :-).

A new week ahead. May it be a good one for us all, in a big way, or in a small.

Spring crochet

 Some spring crochet coming up. First the blanket for the dollspram. Pattern inspired by wood anemones.

Underneath: "Olympic - inspired" crochet hats, like the ones worn by the Nowegian team.

Blogging on a smartphone is no laughing matter, ha ha. Can't you just see me? Squinting, writing one letter at a time :-)

Have the very best day everyone.
